Dell has announced new enterprise-class Dell Storage SC4020 all-flash array (AFA) configurations that offer an economical starting point for all-flash performance to support a wide range of applications and workloads.

The company is shipping two options: the Dell Storage SC4020 Entry-Level AFA single-tier configuration that includes six 480 GB read-intensive SSDs for a total of 2.8 TB of raw capacity; and the Dell Storage SC4020 Flash-Optimised AFA multitier configuration that provides even faster write performance, with six 480 GB read-intensive SSDs, plus an additional six 200 GB write-intensive SSDs for a total of more than 4 TB of raw capacity.

Both new AFA configurations are based on the Dell Storage SC4020 array, which includes 24 drive bays and dual controllers in a 2U chassis, plus all standard software, options, installation and three years of Dell Copilot support.

Customers can continue to expand their Dell Storage SC4020 AFA as an all-flash solution by adding additional read-intensive or write-intensive drives - or achieve additional cost savings at any time by automatically moving cold data to one or more optional tiers of traditional spinning disks. In both cases, all incoming writes and ‘hot reads’ are handled by the fastest SSD tier, ensuring maximum application performance.
